Sometimes it is after the event, when retelling it, that we're able to identify our mistakes. Shame, confusion, guilt are all commonly a result.
I could ponder my mistake and be upset for days, but I need to swallow my pride, brush off my bad feelings, and get on with it. I'm learning my lessons the hard way, and repeatedly in such a short amount of time, making the pain more oppressive, and my thoughts of shame difficult to deal with.
It's time for me to bring more self-awareness into my interactions with others, and for me to hold my tongue, and think before I speak. Hopefully with practice I can become conscious of how I may be perceived by others, and have more control over the impression I leave.
